Seven Days Equivalent To 7000 Years Of Man. The Holy...

Seven Days Equivalent to 7000 Years of Man The Holy Scriptures commence with the seven days of creation. Moses and the Apostle Peter both declare that one day is like 1000 years with the Lord (2 Pet. 3:8, Ps. 90:4).From this we deduce that there are 7000 years allotted to Man upon earth. The seven days of creation are prophetic of the 7000 years of man. Observe the chart on the 7000 Years of Man on the next page. There were 7000 men who had not bowed the knee to Baal in Elijah’s time (1 Ki. 19:18).

Let us believe by faith that the Lord did exactly what He said He did. Atheism, Agnosticism, and Evolution The act of creation has been hotly contested by many over the years. This denial of the biblical account of crea-tion has increased in intensity, especially since the nineteenth century, by such erring souls as Charles Darwin, who initiated the theory of evolution. Why do people degenerate into atheism, agnosticism, and evolution? It comes from a reprobate mind. A person is not born this way. This is the result of the heart being hardened by sin and by life. Romans 1:21-24 clearly states, â€Å"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
